Abstract:
A solid lubricant for bearings which is less likely to be washed away by water or liquid mud coming into bearings, and which can restrain the development of rust even in a harsh environment where high-concentration salt water comes into the bearings. A rust preventive in the form of a sulfonate or a fatty polyhydric alcohol partial ester is added to a composition made up of 5-97% by weight of a lubricating grease, 93-1% by weight of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin powder, and 1-50% by weight of oil exudation inhibitor, and mixed together. The mixture is then heated to a temperature higher than the gel point of the ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin and preferably lower than the dropping point of the lubricating grease and molded into the solid lubricant for bearings.
Abstract:
The invention provides composites of organic polymeric compositions including a matrix of an organic polymer and a filler distributed throughout the matrix, the flier being present in the matrix substantially as separate particles, each about the fundamental particle size of the filler. The fillers are unique mixed metal hydroxide compositions that are obtainable in sub-micron size particles. These particles are layered and have a BET specific surface area in excess of about 100 m.sup.2 /g. An anion of the particulates is selected to be compatible with the organic polymer thereby providing ease of dispersion of the filler particles throughout the polymer matrix.
Abstract:
A tire gel balancing composition having a Storage modulus of between 3000 and 15000 Pa and the Specific Gravity less than 1000 kg/m.sup.3 in the temperature range between -20.degree. and +90.degree. C., preferably its Storage modulus is about 9000 Pa, is capable of balancing tires by being able to flow under the vibrations caused by imbalance in a wheel assembly. The composition preferably comprises a mixture of: 1) paraffinic oils, polybutene oils, polyol esters or polyol ethers; 2) hydrophobic or hydrophilic fumed silica; 3) poly-alkyl-methacrylates, styrene-ethylene-propylene block copolymers or polyhydroxycarboxyl acid derivatives; and optionally corrosion inhibitors and antioxidants.
Abstract:
A grease composition for use as a cable filling material which contains about 75 to 95 parts by weight of a base component of a liquid or semi-solid polyol having a molecular weight of at least 4000 and a reduced amount of mono-unsaturated compounds, about 1 to 15 parts by weight of a thickening agent such as colloidal particles of silica, and between 1 and 5 parts by weight of an antioxidant. Optionally, a thermoplastic elastomer can be added to improve bleed resistance.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method and composition for improving the corron resistance and anti-wear properties of synthetic lubricating oil greases comprising the addition to said greases of effective amounts of a chelated Schiff base derived from the condensation of approximately stoichiometic amounts of at least one aldehyde and a polyamine.
Abstract:
Additives comprising a salt or complex of tetrathiocarbonic acid are useful in lubricants to enhance both the extreme pressure/anti-wear and anti-oxidant capabilities thereof. The lubricants preferably are oils of lubricating viscosity, which may be thickened to grease-like consistency with one or more oil thickeners, and contain from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of said additives.

Abstract:
A high performance ballistic grease is used in ammunition and a lubricating process to protect the barrel of a weapon from corrosion and overheating. The ballistic grease, ammunition, and process improve the structural integrity and accuracy of the weapon and are economical, nontoxic, effective, and safe. The preferred ballistic lubricating grease comprises a polyalphaolefin base oil, an amorphous silicon dioxide thickener, and a disodium octaborate tetrahydrate additive.
Abstract:
A radiation-resistant grease that is stable under elevated temperatures is disclosed. The grease is prepared by mixing a bentonite-based thickening agent with a base oil composed of m-(m-phenoxyphenoxy)diphenyl, pentaphenyl ether, a monoalkyltriphenyl ether or a monoalkyltetraphenyl ether (provided that the alkyl group contains 6-20 carbon atoms). To the mixture is added, if necessary, a gelling aid composed of an aliphatic alcohol, an aliphatic ketone and/or an aliphatic carbonate ester.
Abstract:
A light colored, open gear lubricating grease is formed from:a lubricating base oila clay thickenera combination of a polymer, preferably atactic polypropylene, and a particulate mineral, preferably zinc oxide, as tactifier and filler, andand alkali metal borate as EP additive.The ratio of polymer to mineral, may be from 1.5:1 to 1:1.5. An aromatic disulphide, preferably dibenzyl disulphide, may also be present as an EP additive and, if so, the wt. ratio of borate to disulphide may be from 5:1 to 7:1.
